James Harden is fooling us. He has been fooling us from the jump.
Comedian Kevin Hart recently conceded in a sideline interview that Harden ultimately loves the city of Philadelphia and hinted at another season.
Well, if that is true. That might be stoic such as the whole look beneath his 10+ year old beard. Last year, Harden averaged 21 PT, 10 AST, and 6 total REB. He finished as one of the main leaders in AST and eventually crashed in PT when contributing to little than 45 in a Joel Embiidless postseason game vs. Boston.
Truth be told. Harden has been stoic. He has been leaving his options open, but in a good way, despite lashing out at Sixers general manager, Daryl Morey.
Morey has found solid pieces in the long run such as Tyrese Maxey who may be the one not fooling us.
Maxey has averaged more than 33 MIN per game and become a more consistent shooter. His charismatic, leading personality carves way to take the reigns of Philadelphia basketball eventually and become a better overall facilitator.
Harden has adjusted to that particular role but not the necessary commitment Philadelphia has been dreading for out of a superstar. Harden may of course come at a substantial price but that is because of playing mind wars with Morey and receiving an amusing payday.
